Costco offers a wide range of bulk buys designed to make everyday essentials more affordable, not to mention help you cut down on those monthly shopping trips. One household staple on its shelves is the Scotch-Brite Lint Roller pack. It includes five rollers (95 sheets each) with a combined total of 475 sheets and is sometimes sold at a discounted rate of around $10 in store. The lint roller claims to be 50% stickier than standard options, promising to pick up more than just lint and stray hairs but also crumbs, pet fur, blanket fuzz, grains of sand — the list goes on. It’s a practical tool for keeping clothes clean and even cleaning up broken glass, but just how long do Costco’s lint rollers actually last? Well, that depends on how often you use them and how messy things get. They could last anywhere between a few months to eight months or longer.
Considering that there are so many ways to use lint rollers when cleaning, you might find yourself reaching for one more often than not. Beyond removing fuzz from clothes, they’re perfect for picking up crumbs in purses and craft bags, freshening up couch cushions and throw pillows, and tackling pet hair on plush toys. They’re especially handy for dusting drapes in between the recommended bi-annual washings and for reaching into tight car crevices or cabinet corners. If there’s lint, hair, or crumbs, skip the vacuum — a lint roller has it covered.

Costco lint rollers might seem like they’ll last forever — and they could take you through the year — but if you’ve got kids, pets, and a knack for keeping your home tidy, that lifespan can shrink fast. A single Costco lint roller with 95 sheets would last roughly a month and a half if you’re using two sheets per day. In that case, the full five-pack could last just under eight months. However, if you’re a bit more heavy-handed, the lifespan drops significantly — so it really depends on your frequency of use. Some customers have complained about poor adhesion, with sheets pulling off between changes, which causes them to use twice as many sheets. On the other hand, one satisfied reviewer on Costco’s website shared that it took them about 20 sheets to roll their entire couch, which is less than what other lint rollers required. If they used the roller twice a week just on their couch, the five-pack would last around 12 weeks.
If you want to make your lint roller last longer, try vacuuming first to grab larger debris. You can also leave the last used sheet on between uses to protect the fresh layer underneath. Stash the roller in a ziplock bag with the air pressed out to prevent it from drying out. Another trick to preserve the lifespan of your lint roller is to wrap a piece of parchment paper around the roller to shield the sticky sheets from air and debris between uses. With these simple methods, you can get more use out of your Costco lint rollers.
